Got lemons? Kick off summer with this refreshing karma fundraiser

Before losing her
battle with cancer at age eight, Alexandra “Alex” Scott had raised $1 million
for pediatric cancer research through lemonade stand sales she’d generated since
age four.

Her parents
officially established Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) in 2005 to
continue her dream of finding a cure. In honor of Alex, kids and families
continue to host lemonade stands across the country. To date, her legacy has
raised over $100 million.

Young yogis know it’s
better to give than receive, which is the key ingredient for this charitable
project. To ensure business and goodwill success, follow these steps,
recommended by ALSF:

Choose your
location. Set adate and time and register your Alex’s Lemonade Stand at alexslemonade.org

Let everyone know
what you’redoing. After registering, you’ll receive an online fundraising page
to share with friends on social media or in emails, as people who cannot attend
your stand may still want to donate. Put up fliers, and contact local media to
garner support.

On the big day…have
fun! Instead of putting a price on a cup of lemonade, ask for a donation. Let
customers know you accept checks and text donations, as well as cash. Consider
selling a raffle, baked goods or crafts to maximize donations.

Send in your donations. After your stand, send monies raised, along with your event ID number in an envelope to:

Alex’s Lemonade
Stand Foundation
